Google, at least via Waze, egregiously displays banner and pop-up ads.

... when you are stopped in traffic or at a light. And IIRC, this was there before the Google acquisition?

Disc: Googler but nowhere close to the products discussed here.

It shouldn't be showing ads at all, ever while in a car regardless of whether the car is moving or not.

Maybe these ads are part of the reason every third stoplight I have to honk my horn because the guy ahead of me is dicking around on his phone after it turns green?
